Hello everyone,
I compiled bitkeeper successfully.
However I noted the dependencies on some x11 libraries.
Since I run a bitkeeper deamon on a headless minimal debian server I try to run the system with minimal package installation.
This is especially very important in case of distribution updates.

Would it be possible to compile bitkeeper without libxft2-dev and additional x dependencies, what is the library used for? Is it used withing the command line tools?

I would really like a make option, which only compiles the bk executable and the required command line tools.
Is this already present?

Yeah, that is caused because a few pieces of the command line version of bk use the L language. That is part of Tcl/Tk that is built with bk. We would need to either remove the L dependence or fix the tcl build so it only links libxf2 to the Tk library.

this is what it get for ldd bk. In theory one could seperate the build target to bk and the other target for building x11 related stuff.
I am not that deep into the bk sourcecode, so it may work or it may not work.
Thanks for the fast reply.
